Hmmm... I didn't see any N64 joystick info in the Hardware Book... maybe I was looking in the wrong sections (but I did try a few!). Anyway, I did a project with the N64 a while back... the 3 pins on the joystick are GND, Vdd and DATA. DATA is a bidirectional line. The signals on the DATA line are pulse-width modulated, where each bit is one of the following: 0111 0001 ___ _ _ ___ The bitrate is around 250Kbit/sec. I didn't figure out the whole protocol, just enough to fake the presence of a controller pak, and interface to a PC parallel port using a 16F84. Faking a controller is much easier though. The N64 sends a request, and the joystick responds with a 32-bit value - 8 bits each for X/Y, and 16 button bits (2 unused). Hope this is of interest.
